Sweet car!! I have the black, silver and 35th welly 1:18 Camaros. Where are you getting your parts to modify your car? Where are you getting the billet grill? I'd like to customize my silver one to look like my car with a 4in cowl hood but I have now ideal how to make the hood. Thanks.

RedrumSS...it is lowered. The pics dont show it very well but the tire is on the fenderlip. I'll be making the grill from some screening and paint. Yes, I parted out my Z06 model for the parts. The windows and blackouts are nothing more than a good permanant marker. I think I have seen plenty of ws6 models around ebay.

Looks like you got the dremel out and polished the wheels... <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Now that I look at the other pictures it does look lowered. On the first picture it is on a hydraulic lift so it looks like it is not lowered.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Nice work!

I did one up like my Z28. Flat hood and spoiler and all. I'll post some pics as soon as I get my wheels back from ChromeTech USA (they're plating a set of '96 Corvette Collectors Edition 5-spokers to match my ZR1 SS wheels <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> )

That's sweet! I just ordered one for myself! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Looks like my Z06 diecast is going under the knife! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I just wish someone would make a Formula WS6 in 1/18th scale <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Anyway, nice work! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
